Carol Channing replaced Rosalind Russell in the original Broadway run of WONDERFUL TOWN on April 5, 1954, and closed the production on July 3, 1954, before taking the show on the national tour. It is amazing watching her shift between cynical Ruth Sherwood and wide-eyed Carol Channing in this performance.

I love this version. Carol made it her own.
